BLEED BLUE!!

In the spirit of the World Cup 2011 and in the ecstatic state after an amazing India - Pakistan Semi Final .. i'm painting everything in sight with the tri colours!!!!=)
Its been a passion since i was a baby and for us Indians (and Pakistanis too,i'm sure!) no tournament is complete until we play against each other.
Another beautiful match done..with the two Prime Ministers and all the whos who gathered at Mohali to multiply the pressure infinitely on the two countries..the innings were exactly what they should've been like!! And what more could we have asked for..Our prayers were answered and INDIA WON!!! =)
I loved every bit of it.Stayed glued to my seat till the end and sat with my overenthusiastic cricket maniacal family for the match throughout!!(Also,we ordered food in(obviously!) and i majorly overate!!)

BUT ALLL WORTH IT!

All you cricket lovers out there.. share the ecstacy!! How did you BLEED BLUE today?? =)

Footprints in the Sand..

This is the first time in my entire life that i'm writing about that one thing which i have never written about outside my zone(which includes my head and the random writings i do whenever wherever exclusively for myself!).This is also ironically,the same thing,that i have written or thought about the most.And i still do and will continue to do.All the bottom lines for everything else in the world for me boil down to this one thing.

God and my faith in Him/Her or the abstract-unknown-super power or whoever or whatever you believe in and turn to for the inexplicable in your life.

I consider myself extremely fortunate for having been able to see one of the rarest of plays on the Biography of Goswami Tulsidas as narrated by himself.Executed flawlessly to perfection and performed as a mono act with complete and utmost Bhakti.Having grown up listening to the stories as narrated by my grandma..It was truly an experience that not only touched me but penetrated through my very core and I know would,stay there forever.The play ended but the feeling didn't.The feeling of being a tad bit closer to The Power.Even closer to feeling my Grandma through the Power.

Its not dependent upon age.Its dependent upon your faith..This feeling of being completely engulfed in God's love.To realize that there actually exist an envelope like this,one doesn't need to have number of years in age by one's side.All one needs is ..Faith. My Granny used to say..If you have complete unquestioning faith in God..you'll know sooner than later that you're wrapped in love forever.And that there is nothing known to man that can harm you.. until you let it yourself.

Its always said that you'll be stunned by the ways in which you'd see God's glimpses.They're most unexpected and always excruciatingly simple.And today was one such glimpse for me.The play shook me to the core and just like that..i felt God through it.Inside and on the outside.Mind body and soul.Even closer than before if it was possible and left me speechless. Mesmerized.Completely awestruck.

I feel like, for this moment at least, I've found my Center.My balance.My Anchor..for life.
